And he scores!! CHERRY 1996 3.0 Found

IN MICHIGAN OF ALL STATES!!

ON A DEALER LOT!!

60k miles. This is THE most cherry Aerostar I have found to date, other than the 20k mile one from L.A. California I got dirt cheap that a jackass texter destroyed a couple years back. You can find the thread on that disaster here somewhere.

Now, to my latest and very likely greatest van ****...

Picking it up in two days after leaving the deposit. The pictures tell the tale. Look at the spot welds on the rear area and the aluminum wheel picture...perfect. The wheels look showroom with no clear coat flaking anywhere. This van was cherished. Do not know the back story, other than it is a Carfax one owner vehicle. Wow!

It was Ziebarted and you can see it on the lower door lip picture. Not one speck of rust...

Just confirmed that the tires pictured are indeed the originals...

Went to Discount Tire and had them all replaced for $360 including road hazard and life time balance.

Thought I may have a posi, sadly....no...

I am planning to buy that rear sway bar and Bilsteins all around. Then, she'll corner nicely

Dumb question here but where are you all finding these Aerostar's at? I haven't seen one in probably 15 years that was still road-worthy. Especially here in the rust belt, they've all disappeared
